This song is hauntingly beautiful. I knew Daughter was a very talented artist and enjoyed a lot her previous EP (Bandcamp) but this song is a masterpiece. I can’t wait for march 18th to be able to listen the other songs.

The super-band of all star musician released their first video for their single.

Rock Candy Funk Party is composed of Tal Bergman on drums, Joe Bonamassa on guitar, Ron DeJesus on guitar, Mike Merritt on bass and Renato Neto on the keyboard. I’m sure you are familiar with some of those names but just in case you are not sure where, they played with artists such as Joe Zawinul, Hugh Masekela, Prince, Ruth Brown, Chaka Khan, Simples Minds, Billy Idol, Tito Puente, Bruce Springsteen, Rod Stewart, Levon Helm, Conan O’Brien and Sheila E. You can download this superb jam for free on their website but you should also listen to the 8 other jams on their CD.

Is it raining outside ? Do you feel down ? Having a hard week ? Just press play and everything will get better. I could have post just the bandcamp player, but their video is so great. Seing them having so much fun is like seing someone having a laughter, it can be contagious.

If you had to associate folk music to a country I’m pretty sure you would pick USA, but a lot of talented musician from other countries grew up with the melodies of Dylan, Young, Cash… Guess what? Now they want to play this music too. So Folk around the World is a recurring feature to make you travel while listening to some amazing artists.

First stop of the year: Israel

Asaf Avidan is was the front man of the Israeli rock band “Asaf Avidan & the Mojos”. They released three albums together and he is about to released a solo album called “Different Pulses”. After the break with his band Asaf toured with only his guitar and harmonica. People enjoyed so much those intimate shows that Asaf decided to rent a small room and record some songs. The result is amazing. This video is one of the 19 you can watch/listen/buy at thebox.asafavidanmusic.com

Since we all love to dance here and Asaf got his major international breakthrough with a remix, here the Reckokning song remix. Press play, dance and enjoy (but don’t forget the true talent of Asaf)

MP3s are for sampling purposes. If you enjoy the music, go and support these artists, buy their CDs, go to their concerts, share the links with your friends and DANCE on their songs.
